Felipe Lopez was pulled by Nationals manager Manny Acta for not running out a ground ball in the fifth. It was the second time this season Acta has removed a starter for a perceived lack of hustle; he lifted Ryan Church April 23.

Since hitting his 598th career homer May 22, Sammy Sosa of the Rangers is 7 for 48 with 16 strikeouts.

The Phillies' Jimmy Rollins is hitting .406 (13 for 32) against the Mets this season.

The Mets hadn't hit three consecutive home runs since 1989, when Darryl Strawberry, Kevin McReynolds, and Keith Hernandez did it against the Phillies' Don Carman. Yesterday was the seventh time in franchise history they hit three in a row.
